Spring 2023
The study of energetic particles of solar and cosmic origin, and those accelerated in the planetary magnetopause, is integral to our developing understanding of the physical processes affecting space radiation in near-Earth space, interplanetary space, and Earth's upper atmosphere. In particular,...

Telikicherla Kandala, Anant Kumar
In-situ measurements of energetic particle precipitation in the near-Earth space environment are essential for understanding the governing physical processes responsible for this precipitation, as well as to elucidate the possible impacts of space radiation on the Earth’s atmosphere. This thesis...

On the Signatures of Magnetopause Shadowing Losses in the Van Allen Radiation Belts of the Earth
DownloadSpring 2019
After the discovery of the Van Allen radiation belts over 60 years ago, processes responsible for the transport, loss, and energization of the relativistic electrons in the belts have been one of the most actively researched topics in the space physics community. Current understanding is that...

Space radiation is often identified as one of the most prominent dangers of space exploration. It mostly originates at the Sun and streams into the space between planets, creating hazardous radiation conditions at every point of the solar system which is not shielded by an atmosphere. Therefore,...
